Define Pages Editor: sidebox text not updating?

I've gone through nearly every post out of the 10 pages and still can not come up with a solution to this:

I recently added additional pages to my info sideboxes by the following:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14985&highlight=define+pages+editor

I can edit and save the text via Define Pages Editor but when I refresh my pages nothing gets updated. umf! Any ideas?

also can't seem to figure out how to fit to page and/or center the product images in the popup windows...

thanks in advance!

If you are using version 1.3.X, you don't need all of this..EZ Pages is built in.

If an earlier version, search for the EZ Pages mod. Saves alot of effort.

Anyone know how I can fix this without upgrading to EZ Pages?

I have my define_pages in includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom

The pages are saving when I edit them in the Define Pages Editor but aren't updating when I refresh on the actual web site.

Can't figure this out for the life of me! Help!

I have my define_pages in includes/languages/english/html_includes/custom
I see that you are correctly placing these files in your custom folder...
Do you also have a /includes/templates/custom folder and have this as the active selected template in the admin > tools > template selection.

If you do, double check the spelling of the active template and the override folders that you have created to insure that they all match.

If you do not, well kudos for copying the files that you have but for Zen to know that it is supposed to look in the custom named override folders it must be established as a template and activated.

Try doing this and see what results or post back that I am telling you things that you have already done

i just upgraded to 1.3.0.1 where should i look for ez pages in admin?

The Configuration ... EZ-Pages Settings ... are used for all settings ...

Then the Tools ... EZ-Pages ... is used for building them ...

i think i have got to be blind.. i don't see ez-pages anywhere in my admin/configuration and admin/tools

Are you sure you have done all Upgrades on the database and loaded all files to the server for Zen Cart v1.3.0.1?

Did you get Zen Cart v1.3.0.1 from here?

i did the upgrade through my hosting control panel using fantastico ..

this is confusing.. i just went to go look at it and it seems it wasn't completely upgraded.. but now the upgrade function doesn't work anymore, it shows me this now:

Table 'zen_ezpages' already exists

does this mean i have to do the upgrade manually? or where do i even begin?

Generally, fantastico does an okay job of installing Zen Cart.
I can't say I'm very excited about its approach to "upgrading" it.
I recommend manual upgrades.

In your case, if the upgrade was only partially applied, you may have to manually run each SQL statement to be sure everything was done. You can try to make the installer/upgrader (zc_install folder) do this for you by re-selecting the upgrade that appears to have failed.

ic.. is there a way to find out exactly what upgrade was successful and what upgrade was failed?

Sure - compare the table-structure of your site with a clean one of the newest version, and fix all the differences.
Then go through each upgrade script and apply all the non-structural changes, such as data changes/manipulation, inserts of configuration entries and switches and all the other things listed in each respective script.
